I've been absolutely thrilled with the three they've done for my Texas Dreams books, and I know that Ann Shorey feels the same way about hers. <br /><br />For those of you who haven't read any of Laurie Alice's books, you're in for a treat.

I'm so happy to hear from Laurie ~ she was so happy to read your cover comments!<br /><br />"Thank you to Laura for the shout-out on Lady in the Mist. This is my 7th book, and 2 of my books are from Avalon, secular but sweet, mostly marketed to libraries, and 4 are from Heartsong, which mostly sells through book clubs. So this is my first mainstream book and first long one. It's the culmination of years of thinking about writing a midwife book after my study of midwives in graduate school for history. <br /><br />And Revell did a stunning job on the cover. All I did was send them a picture of cloaks of teh time, which is 1809.<br /><br />That all said, Tomorrow's Garden is a fabulous book. I get to read it ahead of time. Amanda is a talented author. I just discovered Laura's books so have added her to my TBR pile. If they're even half as great as she is, I know I'll love them."<br />Laurie Alice Eakes<br />http://www.lauriealiceeakes.comeLaura Frantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067252948999879024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607797015497924515.post-46323943589552930102010-07-07T15:24:38.789-07:002010-07-07T15:24:38.789-07:00Maybe next time Laura, I've had Lady in the Mi...Maybe next time Laura, I've had Lady in the Mist on my wishlist for probably a month now. :-P Hehe I check almost everyday on Amazon and other sites for upcoming releases.

Some of the hardback books do have her photo. Do a google image search, and the first photo you'll see is the one that's on the back inside of the book. My favorite one of the Victoria Holt novels is The Devil on Horseback, the one set in France during the Revolution. Of the Phillipa Carr books I've read, I'm partial to The Lion Triumphant (Elizabeth Era) and Lament for a Lost Lover (Restoration Era). I have not read most of the 18th Century books in that series though, because Pikeville Public Library did not have them. I shall have to see if Lexington does. As for the Jean Plaidy books, I really liked the ones about the Stuarts. Especially the first one about Charles II. It's called The Wandering Prince. She also wrote one about his mother, Henrietta Maria which I really enjoyed. It was originally titled Myself, My Enemy, but I believe I saw on amazon that it's been republished with a different title.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05847510545827506148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607797015497924515.post-81991759019295498922010-07-06T11:13:03.527-07:002010-07-06T11:13:03.527-07:00Lady in the Mist sounds wonderful and I'm exci...Lady in the Mist sounds wonderful and I'm excited for the conclusion of the Texas Dreams series!
